Re: New project starts tomorrow

Well I spent yesterday cleaning up parts. I found that my inner primary is cracked on one of the attachment points and will need to be welded before I put it together. Then I was checking the clutch basket and found that it had gotten full of water and had rust all over it. I was able to clean it up but the disks and plates are toast.. the bearings on the clutch hub were all rusted. but the retainer ring was still good, just needed come cleaning. I had a new set of bearings and was able to put it together.

I installed all the steel tubing to hook up the oil flow from the engine to the rocker covers, and the connecting tubing from cover to cover.

Got in some small parts today, will work on it again tomorrow.

I'm going to have to modify the left tank to fit over the coil on the S&S. But that should no problem.

Spent some time with the polish to clean up some of the shiny stuff. Lots of work to do, and parts to beg, barrow or buy..

Will take some pic's tomorrow.

Roger
